Amber Alert suspect had no-contact order in pocket

Michael Riley is a man with mental health problems, deputies say – an unemployed Blood gang member known to carry guns and live on the streets.

Tuesday afternoon, investigators say he confronted his ex-girlfriend outside the Burien Library and wanted to take their son, Jamier. When she said no, deputies say Riley reached over a seat in her car and tried to hit her.

She fled the car, and that’s when investigators say Riley fled in the green 1994 Lexus. His actions violated a no-contact order his baby’s mother obtained May 15 and started an Amber Alert that lasted just more than three hours.

Riley, 23, is being held on $400,000 bail after a Wednesday afternoon bail hearing. Charges are expected by Friday.

Riley was found by deputies using Lojack, a stolen-vehicle recovery system, and doing an air search. Deputies spotted him at Southwest 160th Street and 21st Avenue Southwest and arrested him after a short chase.

The 7-month-old and the 2-year-old, who was fathered by another man, were inside. The younger child, Jamier, appeared to have a fat lip and a small amount of blood was on his hat.

Deputies said a handgun was in the car, and Riley had cocaine in his right front coin pocket – along with a copy of the no-contact order.
